A distant cousin of the V-10 sneakers, the V-12s from Veja are just as cool as their predecessors. Cut from chrome-free tan leather, these low-top sneakers with a minimalist silhouette are the perfect finishing touch for any look. Stamped with the label's "V" logo on the outer side, they can be worn daily with jeans or chino trousers.
A cult destination for trainers, VEJA is a sustainability success story. Sourcing natural rubber directly from farmers in the Amazon rainforest, VEJA prides itself on transparency, fair trade practices and ecologically-minded agriculture, ‘infusing each stage of production with a positive impact’. Proof that style and a social conscience can co-exist.
'VEJA soles are made with 20-30% natural rubber. purchased directly from seringueiro (rubber tapping) communities in the Amazon forest. VEJA uses a high proportion of organic cotton in the canvas, laces and uppers of many of its models.'
